EPC Rating = E
Handsome detached house with large, mature garden in a prime Gerrards Cross setting with excellent potential. Approximately 1.4 acres in all.
Description
Dating back to the 1930s Rosewood occupies an impressive and level plot of approximately 1.4 acres, offering excellent scope to potentially refurbish or extend, subject to the usual consents.
Set well back from the road on the prestigious Slade Oak Lane, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy within one of Gerrards Cross's most sought-after locations. The home's period heritage is evident throughout, with many original architectural features carefully preserved, including traditional woodwork and architraves. These have been sympathetically complemented by handmade mahogany double-glazed windows, successfully combining timeless character with modern-day efficiency.
The welcoming reception hall features attractive oak flooring and provides access to the principal living spaces, including a superb living/dining room centred around an attractive fireplace and a versatile sun room opening on to a side terrace. At the heart of the home lies a beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen/breakfast room. The bespoke hand-built Shaker-style kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry incorporating a breakfast bar, complemented by Quartz work surfaces, Miele appliances, a Gaggenau range cooker, and stylish Karndean flooring. A stable door provides direct access to the rear garden, making this an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining. A useful rear lobby and utility cupboard offer additional storage together with laundry facilities.
A particularly versatile feature of the property is the self-contained fourth bedroom/study, which can be accessed either from the kitchen, via the rear lobby, or through its own independent entrance. Benefiting from an en-suite shower room, this flexible space is ideally suited as a ground-floor guest suite, home office, or accommodation for multi-generational living.
An original oak staircase rises to the first floor, where the well-proportioned accommodation comprises three spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a dedicated dressing area and a generous en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family shower room. In addition, a substantial boarded loft extends across much of the first floor footprint, offering excellent storage and significant scope for further enlargement, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
Outside, the extensive frontage with its sweeping carriage driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, together with a covered parking area adjoining the double garage.
Of particular note is the magnificent landscaped garden, lovingly created and meticulously maintained by the current owners, providing an exceptional setting for family life and outdoor entertaining. Adjoining the rear of the house is a generous paved terrace, framed by beautifully stocked rose and shrub borders, creating the perfect space for al fresco dining. Beyond here, an extensive expanse of level lawn stretches towards a mature woodland backdrop, providing both privacy and tranquillity. The gardens also include several useful outbuildings and a garden shed, together with a productive vegetable garden and greenhouse.
